I made a promise

I promised I'd succeed.
I promised not to bleed.
I promised my promise
That I would believe.
The weakness
is too strong.
You stayed here
Much too long.
And now I have to forget
Everything I said.

I want you here tonight.
Promise you will fight.
Show me, give me strength
And prove me I was right.

It left me here to cry.
Broke me a million times.
I could not
Keep my promise.
